I hope this causes some introspection with the TERF in particular, but sadly it seems that she's still casting herself as the victim here. Bigots will do any mental gymnastics they have to in order to present themselves as the true victims, even when they are merely suffering the consequences of their own actions.

Unfortunately, I think expecting introspection from a TERF is asking too much; seems like the idea of people wanting to live their lives normally is beyond their understanding.
